Also, Zomers has a board game of the week as well.
And a what's worse today, the question will be asking common sense or expert opinion.
What's worse?
But right now, we are joined by...
People have become friends of this show.
We appreciate them so very much.
We're at the world premiere of their film down in Waukesha last year.
Happy to have them here in studio.
And it is Sean Hannes and also Kelly Call.
Sean is the co-producer, one of the co-producers and director.
He is a writer, director, producer in his own right and founder of Cannonball Productions.
Kelly Call, one of the co-producers and former president of CBS Entertainment helped bring hits that we all know like Survivor and the CSI series to the screen.
We're here to talk more about their great film, just a bit outside the store of the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers.
Gentlemen, welcome to the studio.
World
It's a
setup, by the way.
Thank you.
We're, you know, it ain't CBS, bored doing OK.
good.
It's
nice.
It's not too bad.
Yeah.
How was the flight out from Los Angeles?
And you guys were at, for those...
yesterday we did the show down at Milwaukee again thanks to Chancellor Mone and all the great people at UWM for hosting us and we had extra civic media tickets I thought well why not go to the game my friends who helped set that up last night and so we're there at the game Brewers got a big win over the Reds won nothing
And I post it and Kelly's text and says, we were there too.
games.
Really?
That's amazing.
Yes.
Well,
If we lose today, they're probably going to have us come back.
Yeah, we're going to.
By the way, the Brewers play this afternoon at 5 30 against the Reds.
You can hear that game across civic media in Richland Center, Oshkosh, Racine, Kenosha Park Falls and now up in beautiful Hayward, Wisconsin.
I was a little nervous last.
that they were gonna blow it at the end.
But boy, the pitching has really turned around.
First four games of the year, a little sketchy.
Before we get into the film a little bit, and I want to be...
respectful and delicate here because you guys and in this movie we're going to talk about here and Zomers and I have had the privilege of seeing it Bob Euker plays a pretty prominent role in the narration of just a bit outside the story of the 1980s Milwaukee Brewers we lost him of course earlier this year and and I know you guys were honored to be a part of a private memorial service tell us what you can and what you're able to about that
Well, we were honored to be invited to it the other night.
It was in Milwaukee at the Miller High Life Theater and I don't know, 600, 700 people, current players, former players, friends, people in the Brewers organization, community leaders, just kind of the mayor of Milwaukee, I think everybody was there.
quite a moving, touching service with some laughs because as Bob Costas was the emcee and as he said, Bob would want us to laugh a little tonight.
So there were some laughs and some tears and Sean and I were honored because the brewers asked us to produce the video segments that kind of aired in between the guests talking about Bob.
And that was quite an honor for us.
I mean it was to be asked to put together you know the films for such a legend was I mean it was obviously we felt so incredibly honored kind of a pinch can we pinch ourselves moment are we really being asked to take on this role and then and then there was sheer terror
Because we were like, oh my god, we've got to finish this thing in like seven weeks.
And we have to deliver.
And it's like, you can't phone that in.
They've got to be great.
So we put together about 25 minutes of film, and essentially were the four bases of his life.
Wow.
First base was his playing career.
Second base was his youth goes to Hollywood.
Third base was his broadcasting career.
And home was his family, Brewer's family, and all the charity work he had done.
Wow, that's a, wow, that's goosebumps
right there.
I can't imagine what it was like to work on that, yes, pressure, but also just again, because in your film, just a bit outside, I mean, Yook is there talking a little bit about the history, but more specifically about 82, but then to go back and really look at his entire life.
Well, it was, Todd, it's really, I don't want to get woo-woo here, but we did this, the interview with him a couple of years ago.
And it was, he was telling us stories from his entire life.
And Kelly and I would look at each other like, we gotta get back to 82.
And we pull him back.
It's like, Bob, this is
interesting.
But it became apparent, as we went and looked at all his previous interviews and tonight show appearances, he had a bunch of stories that were just at his disposal that he would pull out when necessary.
And we
And that's the thing is we were looking for something
unique and something people hadn't seen before.
And so we used five or 10 minutes of Bob in just a bit outside, but we had a whole hour of stories about his life and how he'd jet off, you know, Monday mornings to go to Hollywood to shoot Belvedere and then come back on Thursdays to do the games for the weekend and, you know, all this texture of his life, which was just a life incredibly well lived.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I was just going to say that.
So a lot of that ended up making its way into into what we put together.
Our great sports reporter, Mike Clemens, who is pretty well connected and he texted me this morning, something, something, just some of the names that he's reporting.
Bob Costas, Al Michaels, Joe Torrey, Pat Hughes, Ted Simmons, Ryan, but then let's goes on and on.
And, and I'm not asking you to disclose, disclose things in that room, but just from your personal being there.
It just had to be a moment to be very proud to be Wisconsinites and to see the world come into Milwaukee to honor this guy.
Aside from the actor, as a fellow Wisconsinite, it had to just make you enormously proud.
I think the kind of overarching theme was Bob always came home.
You know, sure he went to Hollywood, but Bob always came home.
He had a chance to go be the broadcaster for the Yankees, but he always came home.
So he was born in Milwaukee, he passed in Milwaukee and no matter where he went and we tried to document all the amazing things he did in his life, Milwaukee was his home base.
I obviously the first game that I've been to this year and
are the civic media seats by the way that we give away on this show on occasion but our civic media seats they looked on the third base side and you can see right at the brewers dugout the right below the sky boxes it has a great view right into the booth where where you sat
And it was a little surreal last night, I'll be honest, to look, because I took my sister and brother-in-law to the game last year.
I didn't know this.
It was my sister's first Brewer's game.
And it was one where Yook was calling the game, and she got a photo of him.
And when he passed, she said, I can't thank you enough.
I got to see him in that seat.
And to look over last night, like, Lane Grindel called the game.
And to see Yook's picture up behind there, I mean, it was a goosebumps.
I mean, I will say, the outpouring of affection for him
I mean, I don't know that I've ever seen anything like that.
All the guests, the people in the audience, it was a lovely and fitting memorial.
Well, his memory will live on in every single Milwaukee Brewer game.
It will live on in this film.
And guys like Pat Hughes, I mean, when I first started Radio Back in Richland Center, one of the original Brewer's affiliates, they still are.
And it was Bob Hughes, or Bob, you grew up Pat Hughes.
I never like to copy anything in my little, uh, broadcasting life, but there are elements of both of those guys that you can kind of take and you learn.
And I just think that pairing, you grew in Hughes for my money.
That was the best pairing in Brewer's broadcast history.
See, I don't remember that.
I mean,
know, you're like three years old.
No, you guys were just more, you're smarter and more into sports, probably at a younger age, I don't know, or broadcasting.
We
and look at levering and Grindel now.
I mean, those guys are fantastic.
They're great.
absolutely.
This film is great.
And we got about a minute here before the first break, and then we're going to come back and talk more about it.
It premiered, not premieres, but it's being shown tonight as part of the Wisconsin Film Festival 530 at Music Hall at UW-Madison Campus sold out.
have to buy at the box office or go
Zomers will put that.
But I guess what is it?
Zomers?
Wifilm.org is something we did it for earlier for John Roach.
We'll put it.
Well, Zomers will figure it out during the break and we'll have that up on the screen.
Rush, don't walk.
If you're able to get tickets tonight, we'll come back and talk about this.
And if you can't get there tonight, exciting new news, how we can watch it at home.
We'll come back.
I tell you that, it's the title of our show on a Friday on the Civic Media Radio Network.
Welcome back to the Taliban show on the civic media radio network 21 now past the hour of 12 noon and Friday April 4th 2025
The Wisconsin Film Festival kicked off yesterday here in Madison, Wisconsin, runs through the weekend, right, Zomers?
Well, actually through the 10th, actually, April 3rd through the 10th.
One of the great films being featured tonight.
You know what?
You love it.
Just a bit outside the story that 1982 Milwaukee Brewers will be shown tonight at 5.30 at Music Hall on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
Rush tickets are still available
Check them out or check it out.
You can get one and you'll do yourself a favor.
You could do that at wi film fest all one word all together wi film fest dot org wi film fest dot org We have two of the co-producers and the director of the fine film that is Sean Hannish and Kelly call here with us in the studio guys, uh
Let's just get right to the big announcement, because here we have in our hot little hands courtesy of Sean and Kelly here.
This is the DVD.
And every time I talk about this film, and Zommer's gonna test, I talk about it a lot, we get angry texts at one point.
Okay, I didn't get to see it.
When are we gonna get to see it at home?
So this took a little heat off, and then we got snarky people that, well, I don't have a DVD player.
What is it gonna stream?
So can you guys help me out and get some of these people off my back and give us some great news?
I'd like to say first, there was always a plan.
It took a little longer than we wanted because, you know, we're not universal.
We're not Warner Brothers.
We're just, you know, we're two guys who made a movie and we're trying to negotiate the media world.
this is
DVD out and people did ask for the DVD like people really wanted to I think just have it in their hands
Exactly.
Of course then you've got the other maybe more tech-savvy people who are like DVDs.
Right.
Come on.
I know.
But we were able to, and this is just, this is so exciting for us as filmmakers.
I think it's exciting for people who've seen the movie or not seen the movie, is we're going to be available one week from today, April 11th on the Roku Channel.
There we go.
Throughout North America.
Wow.
The UK and Mexico.
Really?
Yes.
Yes.
We did Spanish subtitles.
No way.
No, we
for real.
That's
Anyone can see it.
If you have like the Roku operating system, it's kind of seamless.
If you don't have that, you can go online and just go to the Roku, search the Roku channel.
Anybody can get
that.
You don't have to have that stick or whatever it is.
You don't have to have the stick.
You can get it on your phone, your tablet or your laptop and probably beam it to your TV and see it on a nice
That's super cool.
We're so excited for people to see.
I mean, you know, you were able to see it here in the state for about eight weeks, which was extraordinary.
I mean, way beyond our expectations.
You know, happy to have the DVD out.
of a lot of friends who were like, I don't know that I own one anymore.
I find that fascinating because I got a new TV, I don't know, two, three years ago at the most, a Sony, whatever, nicer TV, and a 50 inch or 55, whatever it was.
And I got like a 4K DVD player and it wasn't like it was archaic.
Right.
So, so how do you talk us through the process just a little bit here, uh, about three or four minutes before we have to go to break.
But, but do you guys have to personally negotiate with, with his Roku or is there a parent company of Roku or like, what, just take us through the process.
I find it fascinating.
Yeah, David Eilenberg, a terrific guy and a friend of mine from CBS days.
He worked at ITV.
He left to be the head of content for Roku.
And he is just a person I really respected who had made documentaries and what I consider to be really good taste in terms of entertainment.
I asked him just just.
to look at just a bit outside, just to put eyes on it and see what he thought.
So he watched it, got back to me and said, A, this is really good and B, we'd be really interested in putting it on Roku.
And then not just that, but we like it so much, we'll actually promote it.
You know, there's so much content out in the world right now that, you know, it's great if Amazon or maybe Netflix, you know, buys your project.
But if they just put it on without doing anything to support it, then you're just, you know, you're out in the, you're shouting out in the wilderness to yourself.
So to have Roku has it, who has a huge reach for them to say, we'll promote it, we'll put it on the homepage or the carousel.
That means the world to us that means People will get to see it and the other thing we I think we know now is if you know people like it Right, we're betting a thousand.
You know we're betting a
it.
That's right.
So be careful out there.
It's probably just a salty Cardinals fan.
Probably, probably.
Right?
Yeah.
Just, you know, because, you know, like, if there's a villain in this film,
you?
Yeah, exactly.
Absolutely a couple minutes here before before the break We're talking with Sean Hannes and Kelly Calvi director producer and co-producer of the film respectively Just a bit outside the store that I see a tube walking brewers, which we just learned it will be streaming for free on Roku a week from today on April 11th I cannot wait talk in the minute a half or so to miss we have left here guys about what this means to you because I'm very very
Part of center bias here when I saw the film of a brewers fan I fall of you guys personally But to have all these other people that don't know you that might not know the brewers to have me How rare is it to have a 99 or a hundred percent rotten to me?
I don't know any other film like that any of the project,
when 100% of people have agreed on anything ever in the history of human civilization.
So I mean, again, it's a pinch ourselves's moment because I think there's something, what I think the film does, and I think during this time in our culture and what we're living through right now is it brings people together.
It is not political, but I actually think it's political because it's the act of bringing community together.
Wow.
Wow, well said.
Thank you.
Absolutely, Kelly.
save by the bell.
Save by the bell.
I was going to have to say something profound there.
Oh, I'm sorry, Wallen.
Saved.
Saved.
We'll come back.
Kelly Collins, Sean Hannish, talking about their great new film, just a bit outside the story of the 82 Brewers.
You can see it tonight if you're hurry at 5.30 and on campus here in Madison.
Come on back after the Ag update on Senate Media.
Welcome back to the title of our show on the civic media ready to work 34 minutes now past the hour of 12 noon on a TGIF edition April 4th 2025 glad to have you along What a great way to round out the week and end this show here talking and that's some music by the way from the new film
Just a bit outside the store the 1982 Milwaukee Brewers, of course released here in Wisconsin and other places across the nation last fall and now on DVD right here go to Amazon and get this fine film on DVD and tonight they'll be shown at the
Music Hall on UW Madison's campus at 530.
Maybe it was my exuberance guys for wanting people to see this film because there are quote-unquote rush tickets available.
I had a couple of questions Matt on Facebook and a couple other people over the break.
Todd, we are trying to go online and find them and it says not available.
So we're trying to get clarification before the end of the show.
And I think probably what we've come to guys is they're probably maybe going to wait and see who doesn't show up.
But if there's empty seats, you probably have to be there in person.
Don't drive two hours to come tonight if you don't have tickets, but if you're in town you could do that
all right So what we're doing that the film though is gonna be released we find out now in a week for free
On Roku, you can stream it and hear joining us to talk more about it are two of the two guys that are mainly responsible for this great film.
Sean Hannish, one of the co-producers and director of the film.
He is also the founder of Cannonball Productions, a writer, director, producer, and Kelly Call, one of the other co-producers, formerly the president of CBS Entertainment and helped bring great shows like CSI and CIS and Survivor.
To the great CBS Network and kept it number one for a long I was watching I still watch it and it was on the other night It was it was that the promo was something that's never happened.
Oh,
I heard
about this Yeah, I saw
the lip and it was I watched it It was very emotional one of the contestants has autism and she had bonded with this guy from another tribe But she kind of freaked out during one of the competitions and the guy came over from the other tribe but to console her and
And she started explaining her story to everybody in the cast.
And Jeff got very emotional and started crying.
Yeah.
I have a son on the spectrum.
And that was like, twist the knife.
That was like, that was something.
I see Jeff, he actually wrote a thing.
I think he submitted something to Variety, a note about it.
A lot of moments have happened on 20
plus
seasons of Survivor and they've never had anything remotely like
that happen.
after all these years, something new is still happening on that show.
And it's still pertinent.
It's still a lot of fun to watch.
And so is this great new movie, just a bit outside.
Before the break, I cut Kelly off here.
We were up against a hard break, talking about the fact that this film, when it went to DVD, had a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
And for those that might not know what that is, it's basically an online where fans, it's not necessarily film critics, but actual people going in.
It's both, but.
is it?
Well, all I want to show is C. Zomers is smarter about film than I am.
But isn't it mostly real
This is actually the audience rating that we're referencing.
So this is the non-critic rating.
And you're in 100%.
But the critic rating, we're also.
There aren't a lot of them, but what there is there is very good.
There aren't enough to give us an official score, but the ones that are on there are all certified fresh.
So Kelly, I cut you off before the break.
What do you want to say about what does this mean to you as filmmakers to have
real people saying almost to the T this film is going to say it means
more you know it's real people it's you know critics that's their job um but for people who you know spent uh twenty dollars to buy a ticket to go you know actually
get off their couches, get in the car and go to a theater and see this.
And I don't know, we had 25,000 maybe people in Wisconsin come see it.
It was during our run.
Amazing.
And then take the time to go online and write a review.
And they're just the people we've met along the way who said how much it touched them or took them back.
We talk about it as a time machine.
You know, you sit down and start watching and you're going back to 82.
Uh, for a couple hours and it's, it's kind of neat.
So for those that might not have heard about this film last fall, there was a little thing going on called a presidential election.
So people might have been preoccupied.
A lot of people, as you guys know, just said, I'm not, I'm not sure.
No, the TV, the radio, I'm tuning out because I just don't want to hear about everything going on.
So I'm sure there are people who aren't familiar, familiar with the film.
Now there's going to be released free on Roku next week.
Help us understand if you, you too will set up the premise and why you did this film.
Well, we made the film because you know, we went through this incredible journey with a unique group of baseball players a group that really reflected the city and the state kind of you know
They went out and drank beer in the parking lots after games.
You could really identify, they were like the lunch pail guides.
Work hard, play hard, which is I think kind of a Wisconsin motto anyway.
And so we identified with Gorman Thomas.
There was a lot of facial hair.
But also big
personalities.
Yeah.
You know, these guys were not shrinking violets.
So extraordinary players, huge characters.
And I think the thing that really struck us was, well, first of all, the season lays out, like, you couldn't write a script any better.
And, you know, the ups and the downs, you come up with high expectations after making the playoffs for the first time in 1981.
You fall flat, the team fell flat on their face, the first 40 games.
And then you bring in, you fire the manager, and you bring in the hitting coach to become the manager.
Who's almost a cartoon character.
Harvey Keen with a prosthesis
leg.
Every picture you see of him, he's got a wad of chew in his cheek like Popeye.
I mean, the players would come to, and as Robin says, either have a really late dinner or a really early breakfast.
They hung out.
They were family.
And so and then they go on this rocket ship ride and win so many games that summer, go from almost last place to first place and then trying to clinch it that last weekend in Baltimore and losing the first three and having to win on the last day of the season, going up to California, losing the first two and having to come back and win the next three at home to go to the World Series.
We
should we should say they celebrated.
so much after getting into the playoffs and beating Baltimore.
As Ted said, they had a game seven celebration
just
to get into the playoffs.
And then immediately go out to Anaheim with no rest and probably suffered the consequences of having too much fun.
And yeah, I think they were up pretty late.
I mean, Paul Monter says, yeah, I don't know.
It may have been a literal hangover.
And then, yeah, but then the ups and downs of that last, and of course, you know, we all know, you know, we didn't, we were ahead and going to the bottom of the sixth inning in the seventh game and lost it.
And then I think the really looking back at it, the thing that really makes the movie and made that season so incredibly special,
it was
already so special was that the team, when it's at its lowest moment, the city and the state, they show up.
And the next morning throw them a parade of what some said were a million people in the streets for the team that lost the World Series the night before that doesn't happen anywhere except Milwaukee and Wisconsin.
And I think that's why this is a love letter to to the state and to the to the Brewers fans and to the City of Milwaukee.
I mean, you know, I think that's why the bond still exists to this day because the city was down and the team with them up.
And when the team was down, the city lifted them up.
And that's something you never forget.
Kelly, to me, I've seen this film like three or four times now.
And for those that might not say, well, I'm not a sports fan.
This sounds like a sports movie.
And of course, yes, it has to do a sport a sport.
But to me, the fact that you guys chose not to have the Morgan Freeman narrator, that this is narrated by the people who were there and it makes it so much more personal.
That was kind of our goal.
We didn't know if we could do it until maybe the first few interviews The guys really a remembered so many things so well or if they didn't remember between all of them they were able to Essentially narrate the season for us each remembered parts here and there and we were able to stitch together a narrative that really told the story and then we had a help from some great archival footage from some news stations
But yeah, we don't have to tell the audience what to think.
The players do.
And I know we were very proud and just thought it was much more effective than having the voice of God narrator telling you on the fourth game this happened.
We
have to do that.
agreed
think
Yes, yes, yes.
100 percent music.
The music's almost a plane.
And local music.
Right.
So it's Milwaukee and Madison
fans.
Well, we would have loved to used ACDC
and the first time we had all sorts
of great music, but it was like, oh, we're two guys and we can't afford that.
So our genius music supervisor, Don Davis Stone.
went down a little rabbit hole, and it reminded me that, you know, there was kind of a cool punk scene, an alt scene going on in both Milwaukee and Madison, and pulled up, I don't know what he pulled up, 30, 40 songs.
At least.
And said, hey guys, I dug this, listen to some of this, some of these could fit.
And we started listening, and I was like,
They subbed, we had, you know, you temp.
very music, right?
But we put these in and it gave a real texture, a unique time.
And it became uniquely like, oh, this is just a bit outside.
This is 1980.
This is the early 80s in Milwaukee.
Yeah.
You know, it was very, it sounded Milwaukee.
I managed to bar here when I was in school and one of the bands that I really liked that played the bar a lot, we were able to pull up their music and put one of their songs in.
It was like, I think that was, you know, weird full circle moment,
was really neat to put it
And, you know, we knew we wanted one song we knew we had to have, and that was, yeah, Blister and the Sun from the Violin Films.
Fortunately, they're all Brewer fans.
But they wrote that album, that first amazing, iconic album that summer of 82.
And so they were fortunate and, you know, we were fortunate that they allowed us to have the song in the film.
About three and a half minutes left here, guys.
I could talk to you guys about this all day and where I even drink a beer.
Give us about a minute if you can on each on media today.
And I know I texted you Kelly a little bit.
Fox News now is now out pulling even broadcast.
And to your earlier point, Sean, we're so fractured.
And I guess not so much media today, but as this movie relates to media today, though part of the magic and impressiveness for me.
is that it's cut through all of that to bring people together.
You know, a wokeness has become, you know, a lightning bolt or, you know, don't touch word.
But, you know, and it was funny, we talked, this was actually a pretty diverse team.
Yeah.
And when we mentioned it to one or two of them, they were like, oh, don't don't come around using diversity with us.
But they were, you know, north, south, black, white,
They had a code amongst themselves.
They could all joke around together, but nobody from the outside could go.
Nobody could make fun of them.
And they had some bar scraps because of that.
But it's just people from different walks of life coming together with a common goal.
And that's what they did.
They came up a little short.
They were just a bit outside.
But to this day, that bond is still there with these guys.
And the last thing I want to say real quickly is,
If you know the story or don't know the story, what we've been amazed at is the movie plays equally well.
You may know, you may know the story, you know what's coming, but you may not.
My mother-in-law watched it and she turned around and she's like, what do you mean they lost?
She had no idea, but she's still crying at the end.
I
We've all, there are a million ways to see and experience a thing.
One thing that does for people who are creating films or, you know, I hate using the term content, but creating these types of pieces is that you can find your niche.
And if you can really, you know, if you can get on places like the Todd Alba show.
No, but if you can if you can reach that audience and really talk to them and that's through social media Yeah, we didn't have an advertising budget and you know through through you know talking to the right people and getting the word out there You know people can find your piece and then word-of-mouth happens and that's still the greatest form of advertising that exists

A lot of people have been asking
Because I've had this mug since 1988 when I first visited the CBS studios in Manhattan.
And about a month ago, I was taking some stuff off the old desk here in the studio and this mug, the CBS mug fell off and shattered.
God.
And I thought, oh my gosh, I've had this, I've had this since 87.
It was with me when I did my original radio gig at WRCL original and center for 17 years.
It went with me to Plattville.
By the way, my former broadcasting partner, Kevin O'Connor was on the show yesterday.
We're going to have him back, by the way, already talked to Kev.
was, it was down there at Plattville with me when I did broadcasting there.
I've moved it all kinds of times, saved it, brought it to civic media.
I thought gone, but no.
No, no, no.
I went to eBay, the amazing eBay, and now arriving.
And here is the official unboxing, although I kind of opened it up over the break a little bit.
Here is the box, a little note from the person I bought it from.
Very nice.
It says, Todd, dear, dear Todd, thank you kindly for your purchase.
The signature there, that's fantastic.
And then this is, I don't, I don't know what this is.
This is like a crocheted little thing.
I don't, I'm not sure what that
later.
But here now,
The official for those watching the stream Facebook YouTube and Twitter X came in this nice box packaged very very nicely, by the way Had a bulldog on the outside to measure with that.
I'm not sure all that's about But here we go unpackage it.
Yep Look at this wrapped up very nicely and look at that it is
the original CBS mug and Kelly Call, who was, who was here, of course, president of CBS for a long time.
He said, that's, that's like the original type set and the original logo.
So, and it's a great condition.
It is.
It's absolutely great condition.
So there you go.
The old CBS mug is his back on the desk here.
We'll see how long that lasts.
Think just for posterity.
Maybe I'll maybe I'll super glue it and use it like as a cup for pens or something.
Just kind of just kind of keep it around so
There you go.

Did Bob Uker have a chance to see the film before he passed?
And what was his impression of it?
I think it would have been really difficult for him to see.
Same with Robin Yount.
The answer is yes.
Everybody who was still alive at the time the movie released last September,
from the team got to see it.
And for some of them it was difficult, but they loved it and they loved getting to see it and watch it together and relive that.
Yeah, and I didn't ask Kelly, that would have been a good question for me to ask while they were here.
I do know that Euker got to see it.
I'm not, I'm assuming you really enjoyed it, but yes, Euker did get to see the film before his passing and he really tried to make.
the premiere in Waukesha that we were at last year.
I was hoping to get to see him, to get to meet him.
I never did.
And he waited until the very last minute.
And Kelly and Sean, obviously at that point, I think they knew what was going on.
But like other people, Euker got a very, very small group of people that he disclosed his lung cancer diagnosis to.
And everybody kept their word.
And because Euker just said, I don't want to make it about that.
8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2.
Let's go to Eric listening on WAUK in Milwaukee.
Eric, thanks for calling in.
Let's see.
Yes, I saw the movie a few months back and I took my father-in-law to see it.
Who never likes anything at the end of the movie.
He goes, that was great.
an old baseball fan.
And three lines from the movie that I really liked.
One funny one was the gal who said how hot Charlie Moore was, which I thought was hilarious.
And the most profound one was Robin yon at the end where he's talking with Ozzie Smith And he goes you don't understand you didn't win and I just thought that was great.
Yeah Yeah, it you're still right about that Eric that there are and that's part of the magic of the film for me is that I I but what Kelly first told me about it And I hadn't seen it yet and he said you're you're gonna tear up.
I thought really
you know and really uh and and yeah i did i had tears at one point towards the end of the movie but i also laughed really really hard so this roller coaster of emotions that the film just a bit outside takes you on is amazing and thank you because interesting to hear someone else like yourself uh your dad or whomever talk about it really appreciate it eric all right have you have you got the dvd yet
